Gurav Samaj Weddings
The Gurav people are the priests of the temples of Lord Mahadeo and his various incarnations. They were given lands in the village to perform the temple rites and duties. From the Shiva Purana, they find their connection with Maharishi Dadhichi. It is believed that they are the descendants of Dadhichi rishi. According to scriptures, Gurav were Brahmans. But due to the negligence of Lord Shiva, they were cursed by him and removed from upper castes.
The Gurav community is further divided into five sub-castes. These are Shiva Guruv, Kadi Gurav, Hugar, Jeer and Lingayat Gurav, and Konkani Gurav. The Shiva Gurav and Nilkanth Gurav wear "Janeu" (a sacred thread) on their body. On the other hand, Lingayat Gurav carry lings on their neck. They play music in the wedding ceremonies and also in the temples.
The Gurav samaj matrimony does not allow the marriage of its community people in different groups. Other Gurav groups can have the same surname, but marriage is prohibited. However, the Gurav matrimony grooms are allowed to marry the daughter of their mother's brother.
The Gurav matrimony affairs start with both the families exchanging rings. This ceremony is performed to mark that the wedding is fixed between both the families. After this, the festivities of Haldi are performed in which a turmeric paste is applied on the bodies of groom and brides with the help of mango leaves. After the Haldi ceremony, the wedding day arrives.
The bride and the bridegroom take seven rounds around the holy fire with the chanting of priests' mantras to tie the knot of togetherness. The couple takes several vows to never leave each other and support in every condition. After this, the bride leaves her home to settle her family in her bridegroom's home.
